Climate for Fantasy Fiction

CLIMATOLOGY

When
deciding climates of fantasy planets, they follow a formula to some degree, but
vary drastically. The formula is for climate zones, but planets will never
follow the strict divisions. There will be a smooth transition. Different
cultures and species will develop in different areas.

There
is a margin of error in the data shown. This is purposeful. The figures can
never be exact. This is a rough sci-fi inspiration guide. It shows, from north
to south, your world’s climate zone divisions.

Tropical Third

Equator-This is the
midpoint between the hemispheres. It is where humanity and many other creatures
evolved.

Rainforest - 11%- The jungle territory will be hot and wet
all year.

Monsoon-11%- The monsoon season affects this zone.

Savannas-11%- The deserts have a long dry season,
and short wet season.

Temperate Third

All
of the temperate thirds zones have muggy summers, but can grow plentiful crops
and trees. The winter weather defines each different section of the temperate
third.
